Bus company shortlisted for national award

WARRINGTON has been shortlisted for a national bus award.
The town’s bus company, Warrington’s Own Buses, has caught the judges’ eye with the transformation of the 20/21 service to “the Pops” and the South Warrington network to “the Cheshire Cat”
Improvements have been seen across the town over the last 18 months, including new buses, new ways to pay through Contactless and an app, several reduced fares, environmental improvements, better frequencies, new technology and enhanced information.
The changes add up to a better service for people in Warrington, says the company.
Managing director Ben Wakerley said: “It is brilliant for our locally-owned company to be recognised at a national level for the improvements we continue to make.”
“We have many headwinds against us, including the rising cost of fuel and the popularity of the private car, so as a business, we are doing everything we can to raise the profile of the bus in Warrington and grow its use”
“The shortlisting for the awards highlights that our municipal bus company is among the best bus companies in the UK”.
The UK Bus Awards will be held in London on November 20.

Manchester United risk "writing off" the next two seasons by appointing an interim manager, says former midfielder Darren Fletcher.
